Aditya Iyer is a student at Dhirubhai Ambani International School in India. He has achieved notable success in mathematics and business competitions. He also earned admission to Cornell University.
Before this achievement, Aditya scored 109.5 in the AMC 12, ranking 18th in India. He also won silver medals in the Asian International Mathematics Olympiad (AIMO) finals and the Hong Kong International Mathematics Olympiad (HKIMO) finals. Additionally, he led a team of four in the Wharton Investment Competition.
Research on the PageRank Algorithm and Football Players
As part of the CCIR programme, Aditya conducted a research project titled “Using the PageRank Algorithm to Rank Football Players in a Game.”
His paper explores how the PageRank algorithm can rank football players based on their performance in a specific game. Aditya represents players as nodes and passes as edges in a graph. This approach allows him to analyse connections between players.
He also considers different weighting functions. These functions account for the number and quality of passes, as well as individual player actions. As a result, his research explores a data-driven approach to evaluating football performance.
Research Published in the Journal of Student Research
Aditya’s research paper was accepted and published in the Journal of Student Research (JRS). This achievement highlights his work at the intersection of computer science, mathematics, and sports analytics.
Congratulations to Aditya on this outstanding accomplishment!
